MUNICH, Feb. 14, 2026 — Embedded LLM, a prominent LLM inference technology provider, officially launched the EU AI Grid at the Munich Cyber Security Conference today. The EU AI Grid regards artificial intelligence in the same way as electricity — a utility that is measured, regulated, and delivered via local infrastructure so that jobs and economic value remain in Europe.
Similar to how each European country operates its own energy grid, the EU AI Grid is a federated network of locally – owned AI infrastructure nodes. It began with the first deployment at Telecentras in Vilnius, Lithuania on 22 January 2026. At these nodes, local operators hire local teams, set local prices, and keep the revenue within the local area.
“It doesn’t matter who manufactured the car,” said Ghee Leng Ooi, Founder of Embedded LLM. “What matters is who owns the road. When you own the infrastructure, the engineering positions, the operational jobs, and the economic value stay with you.”
Where the Jobs Are
Today’s AI economy is disadvantageous to Europe. Foreign providers construct data centres on European soil, consume European energy, and leave a carbon footprint here. Then they sell the AI intelligence back to European businesses at a high price. The EU AI Grid reverses this situation. Local operators manage the infrastructure, employ local teams, and retain the value locally, from Vilnius to Berlin to Rome.
The Grid is already expanding from Lithuania to Latvia, Estonia, Finland, Germany, and Italy.
“We established the traffic rules with the EU AI Act, but we didn’t build the roads,” said Paulius Kuncinas, Executive Partner at Embedded LLM Europe. “The EU AI Grid is that road — and roads create jobs wherever they are built.”
On Stage with EU Commissioner for Defence and Space
The EU AI Grid was launched on stage together with Andrius Kubilius, European Commissioner for Defence and Space, who talked about the urgent need for operational AI capabilities to safeguard Europe’s information environment.
“As Europeans, we would never tolerate a situation where a hostile aircraft could enter our airspace undetected for days,” Commissioner Kubilius said. “However, today, coordinated AI – driven narrative operations can pass through our information environment without triggering any comparable alert or response. Security demands operational capabilities, not just rules.”
